Height adjustable ceiling mount for linear light fixture

Abstract

A height adjustable ceiling mount assembly for a linear light fixture includes a base configured for being connected to a top surface of the linear light fixture; an arm extending upward from the bracket; a mount for connecting to a beam of a ceiling installation to mount the linear light fixture on the ceiling installation; and a fastener for removably connecting the mount to the arm at a plurality of different vertical positions to vary a height of the ceiling mount assembly. The arm includes a plurality of slots, each of the slots defining one of the vertical positions.

What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . A height adjustable ceiling mount assembly for a linear light fixture comprising:
 a base configured for being connected to a top surface of the linear light fixture;   an arm extending upward from the bracket;   a mount for connecting to a beam of a ceiling installation to mount the linear light fixture on the ceiling installation; and   a fastener for removably connecting the mount to the arm at a plurality of different vertical positions to vary a height of the ceiling mount assembly, the arm including a plurality of slots, each of the slots defining one of the vertical positions.   
     
     
         2 . The height adjustable ceiling mount assembly as recited in  claim 1  wherein the fastener is configured for being alternatively passed horizontally through each slot. 
     
     
         3 . The height adjustable ceiling mount assembly as recited in  claim 1  wherein the arm is an L-shaped bracket formed by a shorter section fixed to the base and a longer section extending upward from the base and including the slots for receiving the fastener. 
     
     
         4 . The height adjustable ceiling mount assembly as recited in  claim 3  wherein the mount includes two guides configured for contacting opposite lateral edges of the longer section. 
     
     
         5 . The height adjustable ceiling mount assembly as recited in  claim 1  wherein the mount includes an upper section configured for resting on an upper surface of the beam. 
     
     
         6 . A height adjustable ceiling mount assembly for a linear light fixture comprising:
 a base configured for being connected to a top surface of the linear light fixture;   an arm extending upward from the bracket;   a mount for connecting to a beam of a ceiling installation to mount the linear light fixture on the ceiling installation; and   a fastener for removably connecting the mount to the arm at a plurality of different vertical positions, the arm including a plurality of downward facing surfaces for vertically contacting the fastener at each of the vertical positions.   
     
     
         7 . A height adjustable ceiling mount assembly for a linear light fixture comprising:
 a base configured for being connected to a top surface of the linear light fixture;   an arm extending upward from the bracket;   a mount for connecting to a beam of a ceiling installation to mount the linear light fixture on the ceiling installation; and   a fastener for removably connecting the mount to the arm at a plurality of different vertical positions, the arm including a first vertically extending planar surface and a second vertically extending planar surface, the fastener including a nut for contacting the first vertically extending planar surface in a mounted orientation of the mount assembly, the mount configured for contacting the second vertically extending planar surface in the mounted orientation of the mount assembly.
